Volos offers some fantastic sailing for both one and two week charters and routes are usually similar to those from nearby Skiathos Island (where Istion also maintains a charter base).
You will start your holiday enjoying the unspoiled bays and small ports of the Gulf of Volos. Further east, the beautiful green islands of the Sporades including Skiathos, Skopelos and Alonissos beckon to be visited. Sheltered and unspoiled anchorages along with sandy white beaches are a common feature of all these islands.
For those with a little more time, two week charters can include the southern most island of the Sporades, Skyros, as weel as stop along the coast of Evia.
The Sporades are well known for the Alonissos National Marine Park, the largest protected marine area in Europe. The Park includes 6 smaller islands (Peristera, Kyra Panagia, Psathoura, Piperi, Skatzoura and Yura), and is of particular scientific and cultural interest, and is ideal for free diving, wildlife observation, photography and other nature oriented activities.
The limited degree of human intervention and the excellent state of the natural environment make the landscape and marine areas of the Park an ideal refuge for many endangered species, such as the Mediterranean monk seal Monachus monachus and various species of dolphins and whales.
